Planning out our May trip. Hours and parade/fireworks are posted, is it pretty safe to assume those are correct? MS Electrical Parade every night along with Wishes? Also, is there any other day time parades I'm missing? I know they are in the midst of changing things but all I have is the Festival of Fantasy Parade for MK.

Festival of Fantasy is the only daytime parade in any park. Rivers of Light will be going on at AK, so the park hours will be later in AK for May. Hours may extend on select dates for the other parks, too. Usually 3-4 weeks out, but even the same day.
 
It is not accurate. Things can change, especially park opening/closing hours up until a week or two before the trip. It probably won't change by but an hour, maybe two. EMH is a little more stable, but I wouldn't feel confident about it until 2 months before.
 
It's 100% accurate... Things do change, however, I can't remember the last time a park's hours got shortened, extended yes. To say it's inaccurate would mean that the website says the park is open 10am-6pm, and you show up at 10am to find out it opens at 11am...
 

Thank you. I didn't think they had dhs fantasmic/epcot fireworks every night or I just never paid close enough attention to it. Epcot fireworks are 9 at closing. Animal Kingdom right now shows 6pm but if ROL comes/night safaris could be later. DHS closes at 9 with Fantasmic at 9. A few days show closes at 8:30 with Fantasmic at 9. Trying to plan our days for FP+ and its hard esp if times are inaccurate.

For well over a decade, the Disney site has been the LEAST reliable (and slowest to update) place to check hours and events.

That used to be true, but lately it's been much more accurate and up to date than their TA calendar. Lol

It's kind of like having a clock that is "usually" right.
You need to check other sources and compare listings.
